Phil Jackson has made some baffling moves since taking over as president of the Knicks in 2014. As recently as this week, the Zen Master confirmed he would consider trading franchise player Kristaps Porzingis.

All of it has led Knicks fans, among others, to question just what the heck Jackson’s problem is.

Turns out the answer could be simpler than any of us thought: Maybe the poor guy just needs a nap.

ESPN basketball analyst Jay Williams, appearing on a segment Thursday about the NBA Draft, revealed a potential top-15 pick told him Jackson was “falling in and out of sleep” during the prospect’s workout. Williams did not name the potential draft pick who relayed the information.

Perhaps Jackson was coming off a late night and hadn’t had his coffee. Or the Zen Master is just too relaxed. Or something less funny about the 71-year-old’s condition.

Whatever the case, the shuteye gossip certainly won’t help the negative perception around the league of Jackson’s stewardship of the Knicks.
